Poor expressions!
As people seem to be having a moan at things today I'd like to have my own:
poor language and exression! I don't necessarily mean text speak because that's just lazy. I mean expressions like 'my bad' 'for the win' any sentence that starts 'so...' any advertisment that starts 'here I have a ..... for sale' (it's not an auction! I'm sure there are many more that I can't bring to mind right now.

Re: Poor expressions!
I used to berate my children for starting a conversation with a question. Especially with "Do you know?" when they wanted to state a fact.

Re: Poor expressions!
Just modern lexicon, that's all. You'd be amazed with some of the new words/new uses for words I've heard. Just brilliant.
Translate this: "That gash is butters man, I'd need bare p's or bare bevs to get on that"

Re: Poor expressions!
Absolutely. An expression I hear over and over on the Apprentice( I don't watch, I have to hear it, which is quite enough)
And....at the end of the day. By whose day? Today, tomorrow? Gah, Miss Messie, beat them anyway

Re: Poor expressions!
I know, I know. I'm just being grumpy I suppose. In fact I do believe in progress and things moving forwards; our language would be pretty useless if it didn't grow and keep up with the changes.
Just makes me feel old harumph!
